Welcome to CLIL at MMU

My name is Sarah Lister and I am senior lecturer in Modern Foreign Languages (MfL) at MMU. I am really interested in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and how it can be used to teach other areas of the curriculum through a foreign language.

Sarah has been employed at MMU since 2008.  Prior to that she spent 13 years working in a variety of secondary school settings including roles in management, e.g. Head of French and Head of MFL.  She has also taught MFL at primary school level.
